Shall We Date Series (Solmare)

I was so excited that this finally came out! I have played this story in December of 2012 when it game out in the GREE version and loved it but because of the nature of GREE version i would not be able to play it again without going through a lot of annoying hassles etc. So i decided to wait until they came out with the story in the paid app version.

I bought this story in the ‘Shall we Date: Ninja Love’ app (which I bought previously for 4.99 CAD from the apple appstore) for $3.99 CAD. Hanzo’s story is 7 Chapters long includes 3 reward pictures and no in-app emails. His story starts AFTER the end of the war against Nobunaga, which would be the ending of all other main character stories. So is Hanzo stealing you all to himself after the war is said and done?! If you haven’t played Ninja Love previously I think it would make sense to play one of the other characters main story first so you understand exactly what’s going on. It’s not necessary but it helps.

I think there are two endings to this story (because there are two endings in the GREE version which was exactly the same) – A Happy ending and Normal ending. Unlike a lot of voltage game questions the answers in this game sometimes aren’t as obvious. The nice thing about this game is when you pick the correct answer it gives you a sign that its correct! A sparkle animation and a cute sparkle sound. Honestly If it weren’t for that I’d probably never get the Happy ending in any of the stories!

Here are the answers I chose in order to get a happy ending.

You should get angry.

You’re not scary

I’m naked !

You’re like an older brother

I can’t Leave you here.

She’s a wonderful woman. (*not right answer)

Hanzo buries his feelings because of the danger he fears he will bring me

I have played this story already, through the GREE version of ‘ShallWeDate: NinjaLove’. I HATE GREE, because it goes so slow through the story that it would take me months to finish! I cannot stand it so I ended up having to buying riceballs and passports going through this route and ended up probably paying $30 just to go through this route only once! Yeah I’m crazy, but I love Hanzo and this story was so exciting. And That DAMN GREE, once I finished I could not replay it without going through that horror again! So I’ve been waiting patiently for NNT Solomare to come out with the update to this paid version of the game. Finally after 6 months of waiting they released it Yesterday! I bought it so that I could replay it whenever I feel like it.

Although this story is only half as long as the other main character stories there is no shortage of action and romance in it. This is why I like NinjaLove – Add an element of death and war to a story and it makes it 100 times more romantic. It takes you on a wilder rollercoaster than any other type of more realistic story out there. The story is written well and has all the elements of all the other Ninja Love stories in it.

It makes me want him even more!

Hanzo is just super amazing! He is a Legendary Ninja and is so overly polite and strict when it comes to you. He is the total opposite of Goemon who is a ladies man. In fact you are included in his missions because he is unsocialable and scary looking! However he is so sweet and caring although he is very good at restraining his feelings. I could not help but feel an extreme feeling of lonliness at times in this story because he would restrain himself so much from showing his feelings to me. Once he shows his cute side though, it makes me feel hungry for more. By the (happy) ending his change in personality towards you and him fully showing his feelings for you is incredibly… HOT! XD I can’t believe someone who is so reserved and disciplined could be the way he was at the end. Kind of reminds me of Kotaro who is my favourite character. It’s so hot I want to melt into a puddle of MOE! (There’s my inner Renge trying to come out)

He has 3 reward pictures and again they are the same as in the Gree version. They are all very good as in all Ninja Love pictures; no game has come close to having as beautiful pictures as ninja love. My favourite is the first, you get to see Hanzo’s beautiful smile, which really does make my heart flutter. Again the last picture as I probably tweeted before, is good as well. Hanzo looks very sexy in it but the MC has such a stupid smile that it kind of throws the whole picture off. It is kind of disappointing.

This definitely…

Is the Best side of Hanzo!

I really enjoyed this story the second time around. Even more so because now I can play it over and over again without GREE taking hundreds of dollars from my wallet! I definitely would play this story again and recommend it to anyone who enjoyed playing the other Ninja Love Stories.

After really loving Gree’s Christmas Card event I was already 100% convinced that I was definitely going to buythe Valentines Day Card Special even before I read the short description of each story!

Here are the screenshots of each story blurb. Once I read each of them I bought my points to play right away because… MAN I got even ten times more excited reading Sasuke’s and Goemon’s story descriptions!

To buy enough coins for all the stories cost me 19.99. If you are going to buy only one or 2 it is 3.99 each so it basically is the same price. You get an extra 40 coins or so if you buy the bigger package but that really can’t buy anything unless you want to wait for the next event to use those coins.

For that price it included 2 episodes for one character and an email sent to your mailbox. You don’t expend any energy reading the stories and you can re-read the stories without saving in Your diary. If I wasn’t able to re-read the stories freely I wouldn’t want to even want to spend the money on this because its so very short.

Compared to other games such as the paid version of Ninja Love and non-gree voltage games we get combos of sidestories for a cheaper price and even full main stories for 3.99.

Seems like a lot of money for so little, but considering that these types of stories never really make it to the paid version of Ninja Love and that I can re-play whenever I want I decided it was acceptable.

I played them in order they appear, Saizo, Goemon,Sasuke, Kotaro, and Hanzo. They were ALL AMAZING. Although they were short, they really got to the chase and made you really excited for the MC. There was so much romance packed into the last chapter it was written so well. And it does get very very suggestive! Especially in Sasuke’s story – things do get very Ero (erotic) – it is valentines after all!

You also experience a side of each ninja that you don’t get to see in any of all the other stories – and I’ve read them all! To experience that kind of new face of each ninja also made it completely worth buying in my opinion.

Especially Goemon’s story! Which has to be my absolute favourite out of all the valentines stories, for that reason. The side of his personality that he reveals to us made me go ABSOLUTELY CRAZY FOR HIM!

We also finally get a side story that includes Hanzo as the main character! His story was great as well and I love his character personality.

I love Kotaro’s story not only because he is ultimately my favourite character in the whole game but because he gets into a competely new level of romance in this story!

Saizo story I was happy with too, although it was the least I liked of all these stories. That’s probably only because I’m not a big Saizo fan in the first place. But I definitely enjoyed this story enough to think it was worth my money. And he definitely made me smile.

Although I loved all of them If I had to say You only could afford to buy one of these stories, I would recommend Goemon or Sasuke. They were really the best stories of the bunch!

I hope you guys enjoyed my little review! See you again Tomorrow for a Walkthrough for Tatsuro from Love Letter From Thief X.

Hi Everyone! I finally finished my fan art of Musashi from “Shall We Date: Ninja Love” and I am absolutely pleased with the result! It took me about 28 hours of Photoshop work to finish this, and this is the first time that I have used my bamboo tablet for non-work related art. I will never again try to use Photoshop with a mouse, the tablet makes it so easy and does such a better job!

The art in “Ninja Love” is beautifully done with so much detail and lots of lovely colour. Its art tops even some of the best anime and manga art out there on my opinion.

Musashi is my favourite character other than Kotaro Fuma. They are equally super handsome and have such sexy unique personalities. The CG scenes that come with Musashi’s route are my favourite of all the art especially the happy ending art. This inspired me to try to draw one for myself! This is Musashi and me (or MC but since you play the MC in the game it technically is me =P) I tried to get the passionate handsome look Musashi has in the other art into this picture – and my goodness in my opinion i think i nailed it! I coloured Musashi first and as I was trying to finish the picture I ended up stopping to stare at Musashi constantly, just captivated by it! Didn’t know that would happen with something I drew myself! LOL.

So here it is! Let me know what you all think – I don’t see much NinjaLove Fan Art out there which is a shame. Hopefully it will inspire others to do some too. I plan to do Kotaro next and Zain from “Be My Princess”. Who else should I do?
